Sensor and Ad-Hoc Networks

This book brings together leading researchers and developers in the field of wireless sensor networks to explain the special problems and challenges of the algorithmic aspects of sensor and ad-hoc networks. The book also fosters communication not only between the different sensor and ad-hoc communities, but also between those communities and the distributed systems and information systems communities. The topics addressed pertain to the sensors and mobile environment.Sensor and Ad-Hoc Networks: Theoretical and Algorithmic Aspects contains an analysis of various important networking problems and brings together recent trends and emerging works in the areas of sensor and ad-hoc networks. This book identifies the areas that are in need of special attention and presents recent research findings. The book features valuable discussions of relevant concepts that examine the various approaches which define emerging theoretical and algorithmic aspects of sensor and ad-hoc networks. The chapters are written by the leading national and international researchers and professionals in the field. Each chapter represents the state-of-the-art research and includes several seminal contributions on such topics as network coverage, detectability, integration, energy efficiency and routing.§Sensor and Ad-Hoc Networks: Theoretical and Algorithmic Aspects is a useful reference for researchers, academics, graduate students, and industry professionals in the field of sensor and ad-hoc networks. Some of the works in this book have been supported by the National Science Foundation.
